Abstract excerpt
In this study, the fine specificity and MHC restriction of a CTL response specific to the trinitrophenyl (TNP) hapten was analyzed. Based on the structure of peptide/Kb complexes and ternary TCR/Ag/MHC complexes, four TNP peptides, two octamers, and two nonamers were chosen for eliciting anti-TNP CTL responses. Hapten was conjugated at position 4 in the octamers and at position 5 in the nonamers, positions which...
